Right. I mean it's not a very useful description (more of a marketing kind of thing), because it means a lot of different things depending on who you're talking to and what their "tradition" is. I don't read too much into it... for me, the most useful thing is tasting the tea, and second, seeing a picture of the dry leaves, steeped leaves, and tea liquor, preferably with reasonable lighting.

To me, it's just a general clue that the tea has some amount more roasting and / or oxidation than the greener oolongs that are more popular in a lot of places now, but beyond that, it's too general a description to really tell you much. Knowing where the seller is from might give you a little bit of a clue.

I bought the 4 Chinese Beauties AND the 12 Emperors on ebay when they arrived one of the emperors was broken It looked like Customs had been rough in handling it and not repackaged very well, then it had been left lying around in the rain.

Tried seasoning the pots and was shocked with the colour coming off so contacted the vendor

Oh no, Emperors and Beauties only for display do not use, heavily lacquered
